Graft

De: Matt Hill

Narrado por: Paul Tyreman

Manchester, 2025. Local mechanic Sol steals old vehicles to meet the demand for spares. But when Sol’s partner impulsively jacks a luxury model, Sol finds himself caught up in a nightmarish transdimensional human trafficking conspiracy.

Hidden in the stolen car is a voiceless, three-armed woman called Y. She’s had her memory removed and undertaken a harrowing journey into a world she only vaguely recognises. And someone waiting in the UK expects her delivery at all costs.

Now Sol and Y are on the run from both Y’s traffickers and the organisation’s faithful products. With the help of a dangerous triggerman and Sol’s ex, they must uncover the true, terrifying extent of the trafficking operation, or it’s all over. Not that there was much hope to start with.

A novel about the horror of exploitation and the weight of love, Graft imagines a country in which too many people are only worth what’s on their price tags.

Simple but effective.

The plot line is classic and the authors writing is moderate. There are no unseen events, however, entertaining nonetheless.
The narrator fits the characters and environment.

Horrific editing!!!

Any additional comments?

I'm only a couple of hours into this book and am greatly enjoying it. EXCEPT that the editor has done a horrific job. As with a few other books on Audible, there is NO pause between scenes. You have to listen extremely carefully and not let your attention flag for a nano-second, else you miss that you're in a new scene and ... things suddenly don't make sense. I REALLY wish Audible would stop promoting books with this editing style. Don't know if I'll finish the book or return it.

That said, everything else about this listen is a definite four stars, and I may upgrade to five after finishing -- if I can get past the editing snafu.

Hey, Audible staff, are you listening??????

Please note that my three-stars for performance are related to the editing. I find the narrator most enjoyable; does a very nice job.
